    Yazoo Witch from The Country Squire

    Yazoo Witch went on sale today. It’s a new one for me but I figured “What the hell?” & grabbed some. I needed to re-up on Old Fashioned anyway. Now we play the waiting game. It sounds interesting; stoved VA, DFK, Turkish, Lat, Perique & aged in whiskey barrels. The barrel aging seems like a new...

    B&M’s in Destin, FL

    I know I can, & have, googled it, but thought I’d ask here in hopes of finding a hidden gem or get the scoop. We’re heading to Destin this weekend & if anyone has any cigar/tobacco shop recommendations, I’d appreciate it. Any other restaurant, bar, brewery recs are welcome as well. I’d...

    Restoring an Algerian Lovat: The Briar Lee Method

    Having been inspired by @Briar Lee, I thought I’d take a wack at restoring one of these abused & overlooked Algerian briar pipes. The pipe itself wasn’t much to look at, but as a friend of mine once said; “You don’t get points for looks”. The method is as follows. Buy an Algerian briar pipe for...

    Looking for a New Knife

    I lost my pocket knife, a gifted Gerber, & I’m looking to upgrade a little. The Gerber was fairly cheap & didn’t hold an edge, but it was trim & was fine for most things. I’m debating on whether I want a single blade that clips in my pocket or one with a few more blades that I can use for...

    Marxman badge

    I just acquired this sexy Marxman Jumbo. Any idea where I can find a replacement badge/logo? Additionally, if @Briar Lee or any other resident Marxman scholar wants to take me to school about this beauty’s history, I’m all ears. Thanks!

    Zippo Fluid

    Is it me, or has Zippo/Ronsonol fluid gotten less potent? When I first started using a Zippo, about 30 yrs ago, I filled it once a week or 5 days. And that was when I bartended, so I was lighting all my smokes plus the odd customers cigs. Now it’s just me lighting my pipe & it seems I have to...

    Epoxy, Inner Tube, or Other?

    Title edited for caps. I dropped my Peterson 701 & this happened. Is it fixable using epoxy? Would I be better off using an inner tube? Sending off for repair? Or is it done? TIA

    Marxman question

    So after seeing some recent posts about people signing the praises of Marxman pipes, I went looking on the bay for them. There’s several that I like but I’m a little confused. Are they all made from Algerian briar, or are some made from other briars? If so, how do these other briars compare? Is...

    Anyone still selling vaporettes?

    I’ve got a humidor/pipe stand & I’ve been trying to find a replacement for the vaporette. Are these even being made anymore? The threads are kinda worn out & I’m pretty sure there should be an O-ring between the vial & stone. I know I can just use a mason jar or fill the vial with...

    Gettin’ Fancy with a Forever Stem

    I picked up a Forever Stem for my Country Gent a while back & thought it could use a little dressing up. I heated it with a heat gun & used a drill to put a twist in it, then added a little bend. Not bad, imo, having never messed around like this before.

    Jobey link broken

    I broke the link in my Jobey the other night. I managed to get the smooth piece out of the stem, but the threaded end is stuck in the pipe. Any suggestions on how to safely remove it? Are the links 1 size fits all, or do I need to send it out for repair?

    Burley issues

    Something I’ve noticed when I smoke burley or blends with burley, it tears my throat up. Not necessarily while I’m smoking it, but the next day it feels like when I used to smoke cigarettes & went particularly hard the night before. It really sucks because I enjoy the flavor & what they...

    White Elephant Pipes?

    I saw some White Elephant pipes pop up on SP & they caught my eye. Anyone have any experience with them?

    B&Ms in Indianapolis

    I’m up in Indianapolis, visiting family & wondering if there’s any good b&ms up here. I’m seeing a few on google, but there’s a lot of head shops. Any recommendations? TIA

    Trying English blends

    I picked up a tin of Consummate Gentlemen & a tin of Vieux Carre a while back & I’ve gotta say; I dig English blends. Any recommendations for further research? I like the scotch like flavor & the smooth slow burn. A nice hint of sweet wouldn’t get kicked out of bed either. Lay it on me...

    BYO pipe rack

    Has anyone built or have access to designs for a pipe rack &/ humidor built from barrel staves? I work for a brewery & we’ve got a few used up barrels laying around. I’d like to turn some of the wood into something useful, I don’t really have the room to make use of the entire barrel. Most of...

    Humidor Questions

    I got a pipe rack/humidor/pipe tray combo a while back & I’ve got some questions about the humidor. It’s walnut lined with cork & has a little cotton dealey on the lid. (I assume you fill the vial with distilled water.) My questions are: 1. Would you line the inside with cedar sheets or leave...

    Loose Stem

    I recently bought an Amphora X-tra 815 on eBay. It had some undisclosed issues(got a full refund) & the seller let me keep the pipe. There’s some pretty significant cracking on the back side exterior of the bowl & the stem is extremely loose. Any tricks for tightening the stem? (Not sure if it’s...
